Overtime!!

Overtime varies from state to state, so check with your employer!

After 40 hours of work, each hour worked earns 1.5x your hourly pay.

Without overtime, you calculate pay as (hourly wage)(hours worked). WITH overtime you do this:

Gross pay = (hourly wage)(40) + 1.5(hourly wage)(# of overtime hours)

Multiple Choice

Let's practice! If I work 38 hours in 1 week at $15/hr, what is my gross pay?

• $380
• $5700
• $570
• $150

Multiple Choice

What is my gross pay if I work 45 hours at $20/hour? (REMEMBER TO CALCULATE OVERTIME)

• $900
• $1000
• $800
• $950

Fill in the Blanks

If Rodigues makes $12.12/hour, what is his gross pay this week? (round to the nearest cent)
